Brief Description: Rear seat throttle; misc. shop stuff

I spent a couple of hours doing non-airplane related construction projects in the hangar, including building a new cabinet for paint, painting supplies and fiberglass tools and chemicals. I also moved some stuff around and changed a couple of lightbulbs in the ceiling.
Next, I resumed work on the rear cockpit throttle installation. I began by cutting out the templates for the side bulkheads where the throttle pushrod will go through them. I marked and centerpunched these three locations, then drilled holes, gradualy increasing them to 1/4".
I assembled the front seat throttle and attached it to the front cockpit sidewall, then ran a string though the holes in the bulkheads, attaching it to the throttle arm on each quadrant. Using the string as a guide, I marked where I would need to trim the bulkhead holes, and began enlarging them.

Front seat and rear seat throttles, connected by pink string. Aww, how cute.

You can see the cutout on the throttle quadrant at right. Blue marker indicates it must be enlarged.
